Never forget when I was about 4 or 5 going to see a Tiger double header with my dad.
Second game lasted about 18 innings.
Jake Woods, Rockie Colavito, Norm Cash, Al Kaline.
What a beautiful sight.
I lived in Walled lake for a couple years back then.

I was in Ann Arbor in 68 when they won it all.

Did you happen to see the HBO Documentary on the 68 Tigers and how it helped mend the racial tensions after the riots. I didn’t appreciate then just what that World Series meant, and it’s a shame Detroit couldn’t build on it in subsequent years.
